There's talk that Riley might bring Orgeron on at Nebraska. That could make things interesting. I'll be curious to see what he can do with a name school and better access to talent.

My goodness,
Mike Riley by all accounts is a nice guy and OK middle of the road coach for a lower level job. But that unrealistic pressure cooker at Nebraska is the antithesis of a laid back Oregon St Job where people will leave you alone for the most part.
The Mike Riley honeymoon in corn country will over quicker than a 16 year old getting his first shot of puntang. His annual tried and true records of starting the year 2-2 every year will be the fuse that burns the house down.

Re: Coaching Searches 2015
I always thought of Riley as a good coach who couldn't find any consistency at OSU. Maybe that's just him, but probably has a lot to do with OSU.
I don't think he's the answer at Nebraska. But if he could put together top 25 teams at OSU... and really only needing to beat Wiscy to get to the B1G Championship game... he'll be fine there.

DONE DEAL - MUSCHAMP COMING TO SOUTH CAROLINA
Sources have confirmed that Will Muschamp will be South Carolina's new Defensive Coordinator. Sealing the deal is the opportunity to be South Carolina's Head Coach when Spurrier retires. Muschamp plans to bring several of his defensive coaches from Florida.
Muschamp's estimated salary will be $1.6 - $1.9 million.

McElwain to UF with $7M buyout, 61 year old Reily to Nebraska, 63 year old Butch Jones to UM? Considering these school's statuses, I'm not sure I'd call any of those hires (or potential hires) excellent, very good or even good considering the individual school's statuses. To call some of those hires "average" hires might even be generous.
Seeing all that it makes me appreciate Byrne's work getting RR to see the vision at Arizona. Honestly I look at those three hires/potential hires at these big time schools and I think RR is a better coach/would have been a better hire than all three of them.

wvu? is RR even welcome there anymore? i know garrison's gone, but hard feelings linger around m'town. see: just 11% of WV voters -- a superset of WVU fans, yes, but still telling -- polled have a favorable opinion or RR (Sep 2013)

Won't ever happen while Oliver is still the AD.

You have to wonder how RichRod is impacting the Michigan coaching search. Successful at WVU, less than successful @ UM and now has UA as a top 10 team. How many coaches want to step into a situation where the administration and athletic dept may not have your back? I guessing not too many.

Leach's buyout is way too heavy for a non-P5 school like Houston to make the push.
